Floating Is Fun

We're chasing that dream-like feeling of floating free in the air and playing around, be it real or fantasy. Any post type that conveys this feeling is welcome. Check the post flairs for examples.


What qualifies for Floating Is Fun is open to interpretation. I encourage everyone to post what they like to see. Give us a gentle push and we'll float pretty far.


We started on Reddit /r/FloatingIsFun in 2021 and moved here in 2023. All 400+ posts from the original from the original subreddit have been reposted here, so you're not missing anything.


On our home instance fedia.io, we have custom CSS with banner images by neko and by ke-ta

NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren corrals the supply of fresh fruit that arrived August 25, 2015 on the Kounotori 5 H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV-5.) Visiting cargo ships often carry a small cache of fresh food for crew members aboard the International Space Station.

I know I've posted photos of ISS astronauts opening shipments of fruit a couple times before, but it never fails to put a smile on my face. I also like it when I come to Floating Is Fun and find that someone else posted a floaty thing here. Keep 'em coming!
